POOL CAPTAIN OF CLUB Team Expected to Make Showing From Beginning of Season and Will Gather Form. BY L. H. GREGORY. SANTA MARIA, Cal., April 2. (Special.) This final week-end be fore the opening of the Pacific 'Coast league baseball season, finds Fort land with a Vastly better ball club than was the case one week ago. Then there was discouragement in camp, and the future looked dark. Today there Is hope. It is not yet a club of positive championship caliber, but it has the makings. The founda tion is there. All it needs now is two more high-class players whom Wal ter McCredie is making every effort to obtain. One week ago the team was simply helpless around second base, where a ball club that hopes to be a contender must be strong. It had no shortstop and it had no second baseman. There were several youngsters who looked sure to become great infieiaers. ana still look it. but they were as green fruit on t tree. They needed the rip ening of experience. That was the outstanding weakness. First base was' well guarded, the catching staff was A-l, the pitchers were good, the outfield was fair. But lacking a shortstop and a second baseman it was like an arch without a keystone. Marty Krug Fills Hole. s But now Marty Krug has reported n fin th hole, at second base. What a difference his coming has made is hard for one not a ball player even to imagine. Krug, despite his long holdout session, arrived in perieci condition. In his first day incamp, playing against the Colored Giants, h. nAied off two hits, played the hit and-run as it should be played, with Gus Fisher helping him; broke up a double steal with a beautiful throw to the plate and m general gave a finished performance. Krug is what ban players can nmart." That means he is a student of baseball, a player who is out there fitruring every minute. Krug has the peculiar notion that brains count as much in baseball as in business. He goes into a ball game as a business man would go into a Dig aeai, wnn the same careful attention to little details.- With him the game is just as much mental as physical and he al ways Is studying how to outwit the opposing players, oreaif up tneir i tonic and crumble their defense, When you come down to it, that is all there ever was or ever will be to the much talked "inside base Dan. Poole Makes Fine Showing. Jimmy Poole, on first, is every inch c his six feet a ballplayer. He, too, is "smart," though he is much young er than Krug and hasn't had the latter's wide experience. He is a hawk on thrown balls, has a great arm and how he can hit! He uses a great big bat. which he holds way zinwn nn th verv end of the handle, .mi when he hits he drives the ball bo hard that about every other smack It. for extra bases, since ne nas oeeu In camp he has made two home runs. three triples and so many iwu-ims- gers that one loses count. How he over missed beinsr cobbled by a big- league club before Walt could land him is a mystery indeed. Incidentally, Walt has made Poole captain of the cluD He is one of the type that takes responsibility ee liously and It wl'l make him hustle harder than ever. Now there remains to make the left side of the diamond measure up to the right side. The club's main weakness is the lack of a shortstop and a third baseman. . Paton I Coming Wonder. Hazen Paton has been playing third. The kid has all the signs of becoming a wonderful ball player, but he lacks experience. However, Walt is almost certain to land a good third baseman from the Cubs, may have him by the time this is pub lished, and certainly will hay him by this coming Tuesday. Don Brown, Warner or Deal of the Cubs one of the three will be the man and the chances are for Brown, who is the youngest of the three. He played in the Oklahoma Western association last season, nicked the pellet for .284 and fielded well. Willis Butler, a veteran player who was on short for Portland in 1912, was a free agent when Walt signed him. He has risen to the occasion so well in the last few days at that post that the situa tion is no longer ominous. Butler certainly can fill the bill until Detroit sends along the Innelder so long promised, or he is obtained else where, and at the lick he is going he may hold it even then. In any case he will be valuable for the utility job. The veteran is fast a good fielder, his legs are not broken down as with so many old players. His arm Is good, he knows baseball and he can hit. He oaslly has the call over Wes Kingdom who started at short for Portland last season. Catchers All Are Stars. No club in the league will have better catchers than Portland. This looks like the best year that Baker has had, even when he was in the big show. His work suffered last season because he was bothered so much by appendicitis, but his operation, fol lowed by three months of roughing it in the coast range, has made a new man of him. Gus Fisher actually looks like a young man. No catcher anywhere has it on Gus for smartness, and with his arm in splendid shape and his batting eye undimmed he looks good indeed. And then there is Rip King, the Hercules of the squad. When the othe. catchers of a team will say that a youngster will be the best catcher in the league before the season is out, a sure go in the majors for next sea son, only provided he gets plentv of work, it means a lot. That's what Baker and Fisher both sav of King. A host of big league scouts right now are on his trail. Pitching Staff la Short. The pitching staff needs only an other flinger or two to make it very strong. Poison, Kallio and Sam ftoss look in grand shape, young Sylvester Johnson is coming fast and Herman Pillette suddenly has ripened into a HERMAN SIGNS TO BOX LEE ANDERSON AT MILWAUKIE Matchmaker Frank Kendall Lining Up Strong Card of Boats for Next Friday Night's Fisticuff Festival at Suburban Arena. BY DICK SHARP. . f EE ANDERSON, negro light- heavyweight boxer, will meet - Tiny Herman of Astoria in the ten-round main event at the Mll waukie arena Friday night. April 8. After looking over the fielu of available light - heavyweight and heavyweight boxers on the coast at the present time. Matchmaker Frank Kendall decided Herman would be the best and most logical opponent to pit against the rugged negro scrapper. Anderson and Herman fought a fast six-round draw in Tacoma four or five months ago. The bout was pronounced one of the best between big men ever held in Tacoma. Her man beat Jim Barry up north the other night and is in excellent phy sical condition. For once in his life Chet Mclntyre's mammoth mauler went out on the road and did some real training. He found out that with some of the fat off he could travel twice as fast as his usual gait. ' Hereafter Tiny will work as hard for every match. To beat Lee Ander son would be quite a feather in Her man's cap. Lee had little trouble trim mlng Sam Langford, while old Sam knocked out Herman twice fn a rnw. A victors? over Lee next Friday night would go a long way towards putting Herman in high esteem with local boxing followers again. Of course in beating Anderson Her man has quite a man-srized job cut out for him. The men that have been beating Lee are few and far between and when Lee doesn't want to get Deat it is especially hard. tsen Daubert, who handled Jim Hynn for years, has taken Anderson in nana ana is aetermined to do some thing with the shifty colored boxer. Anderson has had a lot of bad ex periences with managers in the past. out ne nas the utmost confidence in Daubert and is listening to what Benny has to say when he is working out. The latter has an offer for An derson to box Gorilla Jones at Colum bus. .N. jl. with the date yet to be set. Anderson has been working out aauy at tne Olympic gym for more than a month and is ready to step in the ring on a minute's notice. He will not have to do much more con ditioning for Herman and could hard ly be In better shae than he is right now. Kendall has five of six various hat- ties in mind for the eight-round semi windup and will come to some deci sion today. He is considering a go between Jimmy Brenton and Joe Har rahan, Willie St. Clair and Frankie Rogers and others. He p. . long dis tance calls out for the fistic managers in Seattle and Tacoma yesterday in an effort to bring two- good boys to gether in the second spot on the bill. Knowing that Brenton did not show near his best against Mascott, owing to taking off weight and poor condi tion, Kendall would like to use the Los Angeles youngster against some gcod f :atherweight. He made an ef fort to land Jimmy Britt, the Tacoma boxer, but Britt was out of shape. Joe Harrahan is a bit heavy, but may De aDie to make weight St Clair is clamoring for a start and would like to meet Rogers or Harry Casey. Joe Gorman was too busy around the home circle after arriving here last night from New York to talk about his experiences. Joe looks as fit as a fiddle and, outside of having a bad thumb, hicl " contracted In his match against Frankie Edwards Monday ntrht is in great condition. Gorman looks a good deal thinner than when he left and said he had no trouble getting down to 126 pounds, which he made -for both Balrd and Edwards. Bobbie Harper also re turned with German. Harper will visit his -folks in Seattle and then re turn to Portland to Join Bobby Evans, who is due here tonight Earl France, iwti gave Jimmy Duffy the raizing of his young ca reer on the last Portland card, will meet Clonie Tait, lightweight cham pion of Canada and Australia, in a 15 round bout In Butte, Mont, tomorrow night Tait handed Johnny Mendel sohn a lacing in Milwaukee, Wis., the other night. The latter is rated as the best lightweight in the west and has scoed victories over Eddie Ma honey, Otto Wallace, Bobby Ward and many others. Sammy Gordon, the Portland ban tamweight, will box Ray Rose of Boise in the ten-round semi-windup of the France-Tait mill. Rose and Gordon boxed a six-round draw here several months ago. Sammy's folks have been living in Butte the past four years and he returned home some time ago. Harold Jones and Puggy Morton will box 12 rounds at Wallace, Idaho, next Friday night . Dave Shade Is slated to box Frankie Haynie in the six-round main event of next Thursday night's boxing card at Tacoma, Wash. Bert Taylor, local negro light heavyweight will tangle with Jim Barry of San Francisco in the six-round seml-wlndup. Mickey Dempsey will fight Mickey Hannon of Seattle on the same bill. ... Mickey Dempsey is about the big gest fistic sensation that has sprung up around here in many a moon. It will be a stretch yet before he reaches the main-event class, but he Is head ing for that'spot on the bill rapidly. Dempsey is a willing listener and picks up new tricks every day in the gym from those who know the game. Mickey has a new job as boxing in structor out at Columbia university which occupies three nights a week. ... Frank Kendall wants to use Mickey against Eddie Gorman next Friday night, but Eddie wants too much money. He is willing to tackle Baby Blue for the Portlaid commission for $100, but figures that he should get $150 for boxing Dempsey the same number of rounds. Kendall figures differently. Georges Carpentier, the French champion boxer, who will meet Jack Dempsey in a world's championship match July 2, has had more honors Ehowered on him than probably any other fighter living; in fact, there has never been a fighter who has enjoyed such praise and honors heaped on him as Carpentier, with the possible exception of Tom Sayers and Johnny Gully, champions of England in days gone by. The French boxer s war record gave him honors galore and now the king of Norway has promised to attend a boxin exhibition by Georges at Chris- tiania. Norway has never taken up ooxing prior to mis, Dut tne nusity juuug men ui inai tune aiukuuiii have decided that boxing is a pretty good form of sport and many of them have started taking lessons, the same as the young Frenchmen did about 30 years ago. IIMfJIO ! IS UP TO PITCHERS Three Times Pennant Win ners Out to Repeat. OPENER WITH SENATORS Twirling Start Strong, Including Ernio Shore, Slim Lovo and Wheczer Dell. VBRNOX, Cal., April 2. Pitchers ot major league caliber are expected to ' take over a big part of Vernon's task of defending the Pacific coast base ball league pennant. The Tigers, wbo open at Sacramento Tuesday, have won the championship three times in as many years and are out to get it again. "The Vernon pitching staff is ex ceptionally strong aqd it Is in this department that I repose my hopes to win another pennant," Edward It Mater, owner of the club said recently. Among the pitchers are Ernie Shore, with the Boston Red Sox in their pennant-winning days; "Slim" Love, from the majors, who thinks the warm climate here will put him in tip-top shape; "Wheezer" Dell, a Vernon veteran: Shellenback. who is expected to better his good record of last year; Smallwood, with a fast curve ball: Willie Mitchell, considered the best left-hander In the league last year; Art Fromme, who got a cut of the New York share ot the 1913 world's series money in 1913, and McGraw, a husky youngster from the Yankees. "Truck" Hannah and Murphy, two reliable catchers, will work behind the bat. Ham Hyatt will be on flrat. Gorman, a youngster from the Paclflo International league, will cover short; Carl Sawyer, comedian-baseball player from Minneapolis, will be on second; "Red" Smith, left over from last year, will play third and "Hap" Morse will be utility lnficlder. Vernon's outfield will be covered by Chadbourne, High, Gleich, from the Detroit team, and Long. Long and Gleich, It is believed, will battle for the right field berth. Three of the Tiger lnfielders are new to the team and were- obtained when the infield of the pennant-winning team last year was broken up by the sale of Johnny Mitchell, star shortstop, to the New York Ameri cans, the trade of Bobby Fisher, hard hitting second baseman for Sawyer and the retirement of Bube Borton, first baseman as a result of gambling charges. Despite the fact the infield Is new! William EKslrk. manager, thinks ha will win another pennant. "I have a stronger club this year than I ever had before," Esslck said. "I believe Vernon has the best pitching staff in the entire league and the other clubs will have to beat us to get the flag."

I SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 2 Lewis Moreing. owner of the Sacramento club of the Pacific Const Baseball league, is certain as to how h's club will start the pennant race against Vernon here Tuesday and Is also sat isfied with the team in the prospects it has shown as a contender in the league derby for 1921. "1 have a better ball club by far than 1 had last season at any time," Moreing raid recently. "We have a pitching staff this year and a th rd baseman, something we did not own at any time in 1920. With any luck we will be In the race from the start. I am satisfied with the men I have and they look like contenders to me." There has been little or ho compe tition for positions with the Senators. Moreing does not believe In experi menting with youngsters. He pursues the policy of purchasing men who have proved themselves as ballplay ers. He paid large prices for Charley Pick and Harold (Rowdy) Elliott. Pick will open the season at third base. His ankle has been bothering him in training, but he says he will start the season and miss no games during the year on account of ltr With Pick at third, Sacramento has a brilliant Infield, In the opinion of local fans. Fred Mollwitz, former Na tional leaguer, Is going great at flmt and hitting the ball hard. Marty Mc Gaffigan, veteran second sacker, and Bill Orr. widely known shqrtstop, will constitute the lnfie d. Moreing be lieves this combination is the best Inner wall of defense In the league. In the outfield Buddy Ryan will play center. This old-time slugger has been shifted to the Inner garden this year from right field on account of his judgment of hitters. Pepe Compton will take care of the right side of the outfield and Merlin Kopp is the left fielder. Harold Elliott, with Brooklyn last year, will be the first-string catcher, with Bobby Schang and Lester Cook assisting be hind the plate. Paul Flttery and Dirk Nelhaus, southpaws, and Bill Proujrh, Kenneth Penner and Tony Facth. righthanders, have their pitching Jobs clinched. Earl Kunz, Carroll Jones and Sidney Ross will fight it out for the other two positions on the pitching staff. Leslie Sheehan and Pete Rose of St. Mary's college, Oakland, may argue about the utility Job. with Sheehan having the inside chance.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 2. riay ers new to Bee uniforms will be in every fielding post of the Salt Lake club ot the Pacific coast Baseball league when it opens here Tuesday against Oakland. As well as being new to the club, most of the Bees this year are youngsters in the game and, as a result, home-town fans are not looking for the club to get an early start in the league race. "We will get a slow start, but within a month after the season opens I am sure we will be in the first division, and we will stay there until the season ends." W. H. Lane, president of the club, said recently. "We have many surprises for the fans. Never in my life have I seen such a likely crew of youngsters.
